My car has been running perfect no problems, then as everyone knows that can change and it did. I was about a mile away from my house and I noticed the temp. was above half way and it never goes their, never reached the red line nor did the light ever come on. I got home and I opened the hood and I could here a boiling noise coming from under the valve cover and noticed also that their was oil bubbling from the VC gasket. It looks to me like that is where the oil might have been coming from, because it was running over the trans. and puddling under it. Would loosing oil from the VC cause the car to overheat. I would think so if their was a significant loss of oil. But I am not sure which might have been first, overheating or oil loss. Any suggestions on what I should do or check would be greatly appreciated.:thumb:
 
The overheating probably occurred first, then causing oil to come from the valve cover. Had the same problem once myself. Check all your coolant lines for leaks and check to make sure its full. I had changed my coolant and filled it after a turbo swap and after you fill it, some still has to go through the system and more coolant is needed to fill it all. Also try some Water wetter, has been proven to work well.
